Microsoft Teams is introducing new features that allow presenters to see up to four participants, including those speaking or raising hands, while sharing their screens, along with a preview of shared content and centralized meeting notifications to enhance engagement and awareness during meetings.

Direct effects for Operations**

Presenter Window Enhancements
Users may experience confusion or distraction due to the new layout and features of the presenter window, which could lead to miscommunication during meetings.

Increased Meeting Notifications

   - references: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=383653

Engagement with Participants
The ability to see multiple participants may lead to increased pressure on presenters to engage with all attendees, potentially affecting their presentation flow.
